[Bug 1068996] Re: Kubuntu upgrade to 12.10 failed

[Colin Watson]

Not quite.  What dpkg is saying here (slightly misleading terminology
arising from internal status names aside) is "you asked me to configure
a package that's already configured, and I can't do that".  This
generally means that apt has failed to accurately predict what state it
has put dpkg into, and as far as I know this kind of thing is more or
less always an apt bug, so reassigning there.

** Package changed: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) => apt (Ubuntu)
